Holiday Posting Dates
|
Knitters love books so they make excellent holiday gifts! If you would like to give a copy of our book, Reversible Knitting Stitches, to someone special then it is not too late:
If you are in the USA, you can still place an order for delivery by Christmas Day. Just make sure we receive your order by 2pm EST on Friday 14th Dec and the USPS will work hard to get it there on time! If this is a gift item, then please add a note with any message you would like to include. If that last posting date has passed then we can send an E-book direct to the recipient's e-mail address on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or another day of your choosing. Again, please let us know your preference in your order notes and the e-mail address where you would like the book to be sent. We also offer Gift E-Cards which can be redeemed for any patterns or books in our pattern store. These are available in a choice of 5 different knitting themes. Please click here for more information. |

I know many of the folks here enjoy seeing my DH Tim's photos, so will be interested in his article in an on-line magazine about his favourite Hasselblad lens, the XCD 90mm: https://mediumformat.com/two-years-with-the-xcd-90mm/
You'll spot a reference to knitting in the article too!

New Blogpost: And the results are in!
|
Weds 31st Oct 2018
The results are in! Not of the US Mid-term elections, but of my experiments with reflective yarn. In my last blogpost, I was talking about the problems of being seen when out walking or running now that the nights are drawing in.
So I have been testing some RetroGlo yarn and have been trying various techniques to incorporate some of this into my knitting. And the results are that it works brilliantly (pun intended...!) . . . Please click here to read the rest of the Blogpost. |
A page of knitting
|
I set my knitting down and realised I had just knitted a page-worth of scarf! It exactly covered my block of graph paper. 🤓
This will be a man's scarf, the Karlskrona Scarf - pattern to come in about 5 pages' time! If you would like to see more of my knitting photos on Instagram, please click here. |
New scarf pattern for men – the Cambourne Scarf
|
Tues 31st July 2018
I have just uploaded a new scarf pattern, which would be perfect to start knitting now ready for the winter which will be upon us before we know it! The Cambourne Scarf is eye-catching yet sophisticated, and features a contrast-striped edge with a deeply textural pattern for a warm finish.
The scarf is worked in a wonderfully soft 100% merino wool yarn and the pattern includes instructions for three sizes and three different colourways. To read a blogpost about the Cambourne Scarf, please click here. To purchase the pattern, please click here or select the button below. |
